Los Angeles White Roofs Building Code is Online

Speaking of useful resources…

Last December, the Los Angeles City Council updated the city’s building code – which required the installation of white roofs on commercial structures – to require the installation of white roofs on new and rebuilt residential structures. The city has put all the documents and discussion on line in their docket – including the City Attorney’s report.

Since then, several other cities (Pasadena and Hermosa Beach, CA) have enacted similar updates. We thought it might be useful for other cities to have access to the relevant documents and reports, so we’ve added information on Los Angeles to our ToolKit Knowledge Base, which you can find HERE.
